Party Weird! What does that mean?
Allow me to present Example(s) A through Z: My partner in crime and business, Nandini Khaund, teaching us how to make a tasty cocktail with pig's blood.
For our Non-Chicagoan visitors, let me tell you there is a wonderful long-standing alternative newspaper called The Chicago Reader, and they do this delightful cocktail challenge where bartenders can zing each other with difficult ingredients with which to create cocktails — complete with well-produced, entertaining videos. When the good people at the Reader came up with this challenge, they probably thought: Seasonal. Farm to table. Local.
Instead they got METAL! Nandini created the "Reign in Blood," featuring blood orange and Pig's Nose scotch. Click here for unrepentant badassery.
A tip of the hat to our dear friend from The Charleston, Kristen Wolfel, who kindly pitched this ingredient to Nandini. Be sure to watch her video here on how to make the cocktail Careless Whiskers with catnip.

Flood Insurance:
Information on the Mandatory Purchase Requirement
T-RCED-92-86: Published: Jul 27, 1992. Publicly Released: Jul 27, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed its review of compliance with the flood insurance mandatory purchase requirement, focusing on: (1) the extent of compliance; (2) the reasons for noncompliance; and (3) the financial risk to the federal government from noncompliance. GAO noted that: (1) the Federal Disaster Protection Act of 1973 requires the purchase of flood insurance for any federal loan or grant for the acquisition or construction of a structure in a designated special flood hazard area; (2) most properties studied are exempt from flood insurance requirements; (3) it could not determine the reason for the large disparity in the compliance rate between the two states it studied; (4) the Federal Insurance Administration is concerned over the possibility of substantial noncompliance, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve System say noncompliance is not a major problem; (5) lender error is the most frequent reason for noncompliance; and (6) the federal government incurs greater costs due to noncompliance because uninsured property owners seek subsidized low interest loans from the Small Business Administration or grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to restore their losses.

Thanks to 31 unanswered points, defending 4A Division II champion Phoenix Thunderbird rolled past Arcadia 31-14 Friday night -- handing the Titans their first loss of the season.
The Chiefs scored on their second play of the second quarter when quarterback Vinnie Marin hooked up with Scott Beaudoin on a 56-yard touchdown pass. A bolt of lightning flashed over the field as Marin released the ball. The flash of lightning appeared to stun players on both sides of the ball but Beaudoin kept running with the play and finished in the end zone for a 21-7 lead.
"I was hoping it would have been about five seconds earlier," Arcadia coach Jim Ellison said, hoping the game would have been postponed by lightning before the play occurred.
Arcadia got on the board first with a trick play. The Titans caught the Chiefs on a misdirection play and running back Steven Moala took a pitch 84 yards for a 7-0 lead.
Thunderbird tied the game barely a minute later when Kani Benoit scored on a 25-yard touchdown run. Benoit took the snap in the wildcat formation and eluded a trio of Titans in the backfield before breaking free for the score.
Benoit struck again with 7:37 left in the first half when he rumbled off tackle to the left and scored on an 80-yard touchdown run to give the Chiefs a 14-7 edge before the Chiefs' "bolt" play.
Thunderbird also tacked on a 36-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Beaudoin later added a second touchdown catch in the fourth to finish off the 31-point run.
Arcadia got a late touchdown from Sosaia Maafu in the final two minutes to close the scoring. Maafu ran for 321 yards and seven touchdowns in the Titans' first two games, but was held to 95 yards.
"We knew teams were going to start keying on him and they did a good job of hitting him low," Ellison said. "We have a real good staff and we'll review film. We will fix the things that need to be fixed."

ABC News' Eloise Harper and David Chalian Report: Though Sen. Clinton has come a long way in assuaging early concerns among many Democrats about her positions on the Iraq war, it is never a welcome week in Clinton land when the Iraq issue is the dominant political narrative. Iraq will be exactly that next week when General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker go before Congress to deliver the Administration's progress report. Sen. Clinton is hoping to get ahead of the crush of reactions from presidential candidates by trying to set some of the terms of the debate.
Clinton is playing 20 questions with President Bush. The presidential hopeful has sent the president a list of questions that she hopes will be addressed when he prepares the report to be presented before Congress next week.
"In the wake of your recent trip to Iraq and as your Administration prepares to submit its Congressionally-mandated report on progress in Iraq by September 15, it is important that the American people have an accurate perception of the situation in Iraq," writes Clinton.
The questions range from Iraqi National Police to the detrimental impact of the war on the readiness of the Army and Marines. Clinton hopes these questions are addressed and presumably answered next week.

This happened when I was a teenager, maybe 16 or so. I was walking into a grocery store when I passed this creepy guy eyeballing me, as he walked away I overheard him say "too young" in a disappointed way. The town I was in is known for its high number of sex offenders. It was just creepy. I don't like to grocery shop often anymore.
So I have a couple different stories and both of them happened when i was 16. I'm 20 now. I hope it's ok that i am sharing something that did not happen to me recently. i just really want to share them because i think it is great that this hollaback thing exists and i haven't shared these stories with realy anyone because i'm sort of embarassed.
SO this one time i was hanging around the plaza the morning after halloween and this really nice group of people were sitting on the grass smoking blunts and asked me if i wanted to join them. I accepted their offer. most of them gradually got up and left after a bit and then it was just me and this guy who didn't seem threatening at all at first. i talked with him for a bit and then he started complimenting me a lot on my appearance which i thought was nice of him but it sort of made me uncomfortable. so i decided to politely get up and leave. he followed me and his compliments started to get nasty and sexual. I just ignored him hoping he would get the picture. obviousy i should have told him to fuck off but i didn't want to make a scene i guess. so he keeps following me and being gross. i started to make my way toward the bus stop because at this point i just wanted to go home. on the way there he pushed me up against this fence and showed me his half boner. i kept pushing him away and telling him to stop but he woudn't. he put his hand up my skirt. so i pushed him with full force and ran towards the bus stop. he followed me. sat next to me at the stop and kept trying to kiss me and stuff. i kept telling him to leave me alone. it's stupid but i really didn't want to make a scene because i was really embarassed. i should have yelled for help i know. there was this couple sitting across from us and i tried to make eye contact with them. they looked at me but they must have assumed he was just my boyfriend and i was mad at him or something. i don't know. he was begging me to pay for his bus fair so he could come with me. i didn't (of course). so i got on the bus and made it home safely.
a similar thing happened to me again in this same area. i was still 16 at the time. this guy said hi to me when i walked past him and i said hello back. he takes this as an invitation to follow me around for an hour begging me to come home with him. he looked like he was in his 40s. i told him i was 16 and that i was just waiting for my parents to get out of an appointment. which was true. but this did not raise any red flags in his mind. he even tried to trick me into coming to his house by saying "hey i have some weed but i left it at home you wanna come with me to get it?". i just kept telling him to fuck off and he finally did thank god.
for a long time after this stuff happened to me i refused to go back to this area by myself. i live in this area now and haven't had any problems because now when guys flirt with me i just ignore them.
Hello I am new here,
I know I'm going to be laughed at for this, but I need to free this pain from my chest.
being dropped off to my very first "Job Interview." I'm not sure or can't seem to remember my age at the time, but I'm thinking around 15 to 16 maybe?.
Back on topic, after leaving the job site (at a theme park) since it was only a few blocks away, I was made to walk home. Feeling lonely like I always do, on the quite gloomy day, I stopped at the light waiting to cross. A couple of men in a very old and dirty looking red car drove past me (kind of quickly) with their door open. I didn't know what was going on until they fully passed by, but I noticed some type of water coming from the open door. I didn't see the man's face, but he yelled "SORRY" while laughing away. It was all over my suit pants & soaked my shoes, I held my tears but every step I took towards my home became harder and harder. I'm not very smart but first thought it was a soda, or something else. but it turned out to be pee (from the smell & other things). Everyday I dealt with bullying from many people in highschool, at home, etc. I guess I shouldn't be shocked by this.
Sadly enough while being raised by my grandmother,
she taught me that if I cry, it will get worse. Keep in mind she was an abusive person.
I was standing in the metro. Some guys were standing next to me ( They didn't understand german, just arabic, so I assume they were from an arabic country, although this isn't a matter of nationality) and were chatting, they seemed to be in their 20s. I want to add that I directly came from school and I was dressed very modestly. When the train stopped at the station, they guy next to me let me leave the train first . I liked this act of politeness very much, that's why thanked him and smiled to him very nicely. It wasn't meant as flirtation or anything, I just wanted to be polite. But when I left, I heard them laughing : oooooooooooh Dankeschön Dankeschön ( which is the german word for thank you, that i used). They said it in a weird tone , then they started to say something in arabic. Of course I don't really know what they said, but I am sure that they thought that the fact I thanked him in a friendly way, was a sign that I liked him. They continued grinning into my direction and that really upset me.
Generally, I have experienced that guys from the middleeast sometimes misinterpret politeness from girls. I am from Iran, and Iranians also behave this way. Another time, I was in the metro with my friend when a Iranian guy started talking to me, in the middle of our conversation! I replied politely but reluctantly. still, when my friend left the train, he talked to me all they way, asking how old i was and if i would give him my phone number . he was actually pretty nice, but it was still a bit awkward for me.
When I am in Iran, I experienced that if you look into a guys eyes for a few seconds or smile at him, he thinks you are interested in him. That really sucks. so – guys ! even if I am polite to you – it doesn't mean I want to date you our stuff okay?
My car broke down on the side of a busy but small road during 5 o'clock traffic. My dad was with me and he was standing outside looking under my hood. I was way too uncomfy to get out of the car because I was wearing a short dress and wasn't anticipating having to stand on the side of a road. I have been sexually assaulted and raped before so this adds to my extreme anxiety in situations such as this. I felt bad that I was not helping so I did step out of the car, and of course – as soon as I did I hear "DAMMMNNNN BABY" or something to that effect. This man was hanging out the driver's side window making hand gestures at me and yelling, at a stop sign, with tons of other cars waiting behind him and all around. Although my stress level heightens in situations like this I always have something to say back. I look at him, gave him the finger and just said "NO. NOPE." with a super bitch look on my face. He THEN yelled "Whatever, BITCH!" and drove away, continuing to look at me. My dad was within feet of me. There were TWO OTHER men standing with us and he STILL had the audacity to do it. My dad an the other men did not hear it, luckily. Otherwise we would have had a bigger problem.
So me and a friend of mine are walking through downtown Portland Oregon to the mall to get some Christmas shopping done. As we're crossing the street, a man comes up to me and my friend and starts screaming 6 inches from our faces
After being startled half to death I finally worked up the courage to scream right back, "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM US BEFORE I BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!!" He didn't back off so we shoved our way through and kept walking.
What bothers me the most was that there were 20 or 30 people around us at the pioneer courthouse square and not ONE person did anything or asked us if we were okay.
This is only one of numerous times ive been harassed on my way to work/class/at work.
I cant shake the feeling these encounters gives me. Something has got to be done.
I have witnessed some assaults so far, but most of them weren't that severe. But in June 2010 , I experienced Something really bad happened to me and my friends when I was 14 years old. My friends and I were sitting in a bus when a man right next to us started to masturbate in front of us. At first, I didn't really realize what he was doing , but when I got it, I was so shocked ! He looked into my eyes while doing it and I turned away, but still we all could hear him breathing louder and louder. It was disturbing, disgusting and just so creepy. Some adults saw what he was doing, but no one helped us. It was really, really disgusting. I felt so humiliated – he was "using" me in order to please himself.
This was one of the most disturbing things I've experienced. Later, there were other things, comments, looks or rude remarks . Still, the bus incident was the worst – it made me feel dirty and abused ! I wish I would have said something, but I couldn't say anything.
There have been so many times throughout my life that I've experienced street harassment without even realizing what it truly was. Like many women, it began around the time I reached adolescence and has only gotten worse. Unfortunately, I have too many stories to share here at once, but there is one from several years ago that still sticks out in my mind like it was yesterday, and probably always will.
I had just turned 16 and gotten my first job hostessing at a restaurant in the small town I lived in. One spring afternoon, a friend from work and I decided to go shopping at an outdoor plaza and take a walk around the park across from it. We went in and out of a few stores, having a nice time. My friend needed to make a quick stop at a store in the plaza and since I didn't need to go in that store I told her that I'd walk across the street to the park to get some ice cream and we agreed to meet back up by the ice cream stand in a few minutes.
I did just that, but the line for ice cream was short and my friend was no-where to be seen. I sat on a bench in the park and ate my ice cream out of a little cup, waiting and watching the few people there walking around the track. I pitched my empty cup in the garbage bin beside the bench and that's when I saw him: an elderly man, perhaps 70 or 75 years old, walking a bicycle, overtly staring at me and making a beeline in my direction. I didn't pay him much heed until he came to a halt right in front of me. I looked up, confused, and he said, "Sure is a lovely day, isn't it?" I replied that it was. He then backed up a bit so he and his bike were close beside me and I was beginning to feel that intuitive prickling sensation we all experience as a primitive warning system, but try to ignore. He said, "What's a pretty girl like you doing alone in the park?" He leaned closer to me. I had been sexually assaulted less than a year before and was still slightly skittish around strange men approaching me. I tensed and began feeling like a cornered animal, prey; his body and bicycle were blocking my most immediate exit. I tried to think of an appropriate response that might discourage him. "I'm waiting for my boyfriend," I said. "He's just on the other side of the park." I thought that may be enough, but it only gave him more to question me with. "Do you like to have fun with him? I don't think there's nothin' wrong with two adults having fun." I knew what he was implying and I knew there was no way he thought I was older than I was, let alone an adult. With my tiny frame and still slightly child-like face, I was often mistaken as being even younger than I was. 'Is he a pedophile?' I thought, and it alarmed me even further. I smiled sheepishly, uncomfortably, hoping he wouldn't sense my unease and prey on it like a canine when it smells fear.
"So you like to have fun? I live around here, I just got this real nice place. We could walk over there if you wanna. We'll have fun." He smiled. Creepy. His words themselves were innocuous but the implied meaning was clear. I looked around as discreetly as I could, hoping to see my friend or another person, anyone, nearby. I didn't, but I wanted away from him right then. "Oh look, there comes my boyfriend!" I stood up abruptly, causing him to stagger backward a step, and power-walked with no real destination in my mind; just away from him. He got on his bike and rode out of the park.
I crossed the street, heading to the store my friend was in just as she came out of the door. I called her name and she must have seen something in my eyes I was unaware of because she sounded alarmed when she asked, "What's wrong?!"
I relayed my experience to her and we got in her car. She was determined to find the man and we circled every block in the vicinity, but we never saw him. Although the panic I felt was nearly gone, adrenaline was still pumping through my veins, and I was shaken. I told her I just wanted to go home. As I was getting out at my house, I sincerely thanked her for her concern and efforts in trying to find the man.
Only when I was alone in my bedroom at last did I allow the tears to flow unbidden. I felt ashamed, scared, powerless, sullied, but most of all I felt angry. Angry not only at this one creep, but for all the women who have to live with men like him and their lecherous glances and words that poison innocence. I was angry with myself for not standing up, not reporting him right then because I realized that with the confidence and persuasion he exuded towards me, he must have done this before and will undoubtedly do it again, perhaps to an even younger or more naive girl who will follow him home.
I realized I needed to take a stand, and I have. Not only for myself, but for every person who has ever experienced sexual harassment. I'm so thankful for organizations like Ihollaback for raising awareness for something so vitally important. From me, and I'm sure from women everywhere, thank you for showing us we have the strength to holla back!
Once when I was 16 I walked down the road i live on to do my volunteering at a thrift shop. I approached an intersection when a man in a van began to harass me. He honked repeatedly as I crossed the street. Once I crossed,and the light had gone green he made a turn and began driving and honking alongside where i was walking. I just walked to the shop and did my work. Hours later, i had completely forgotten about the incident and went on break. I sat outside and watched cars go by while i ate some crackers. Suddenly the same man in the van from hours before came "casually" walking past and approached me. He started asking me why i was sitting there and if i was hungry and wanted to get in his car to get something to eat with him. I told him no and he eventually went away. It made me feel so uncomfortable.
I was about 24 and biking home along East Broadway towards Burnaby. It was during rush hour traffic and another biker came up behind me and slid his hand up my buttocks. It made me stop biking almost fell into traffic. We fought a bit and drivers just honked at us! This was from out of no where. I didn't know the person and didn't recognize him from any previous riding experience. Didn't make sense. No one helped and after I called 911 the police said they couldn't do anything for me. I still had to finish riding my bike home! I would never have thought that this could happen this way. This was back in 1984.

Interpersonal dynamics strongly contribute to sexual function, and premature ejaculation can be caused by a lack of communication between partners, hurt feelings, or unresolved conflicts that interfere with the ability to achieve emotional intimacy. The squeeze technique involves squeezing below the tip of your penis when the climax is imminent for ten to 20 seconds.

Premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration, with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are having a problem with premature ejaculation and it does not respond to techniques such as those described above. Retraining your sensitivity provides a far more successful result in the long run than some supposed short term "quick fix". Most professionals who treat premature ejaculation define this condition as the occurrence of ejaculation prior to the wishes of both sexual partners. The premature ejaculation is not due exclusively to the direct effects of a substance For many years, sex experts have tended to say that premature ejaculation is caused by early conditioning. The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV) defines premature ejaculation as a persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on or shortly after penetration and before a person wishes. Wow, that's not a sexy definition. Online help and direct consultation with a doctor or sex therapist. In other words, if you were a caveman who came very fast, you'd stand more chance of impregnating your woman and enlarging your tribe. After he has achieved this measure of control, he can try masturbating with a wet hand, which will feel more like the inside of a vagina.

Although none of these drugs is specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat premature ejaculation, some are used for this purpose. The definition for premature ejaculation vary from 30 seconds to 4 minutes depending on different cultures, countries and experts. Another element leading to premature ejaculation is a male's lack of awareness of the preliminary sensations that lead to orgasm, making him unable to control the process leading to ejaculation. Interpersonal dynamics strongly contribute to sexual function, and premature ejaculation can be caused by a lack of communication between partners, hurt feelings, or unresolved conflicts that interfere with the ability to achieve emotional intimacy. Doctors generally classify premature ejaculation as either lifelong (primary) or acquired (secondary). Resolution of the cardiac problem usually solves the premature ejaculation, with no specific therapy for the premature ejaculation. This is a great state to be in because you will never have to worry about ejaculating too early again - you can totally relax and savour much longer periods of heightened sensuality and sensitivity with your partner. Take a deep breath as you feel your climax approaching. True premature ejaculation can happen within seconds of penetration or even before penetration. In 2000, a clinical trial of a new technique for treating premature ejaculation was published in the medical press. The theory was it would make the organ less sensitive. Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual intercourse than they or their partner would like. Behavioral therapy helps 60% to 90% of men with premature ejaculation.

Abbott kills off surplus promise
PUBLISHED: 20 Apr 2013 00:45:25 | UPDATED: 20 Apr 2013 08:30:16PUBLISHED: 20 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 20 Apr 2013Tony Abbott will not say when the Coalition will be able to bring the budget back into surplus. Photo: James Davies
Jacob Greber Economics correspondent
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has declared "all bets are off" on whether the Coalition will deliver a surplus in what could be its first year in office, prompting warnings from a prominent economist that the budget may not be balanced for years.
The Gillard government seized on the shift to accuse the Coalition of "crab walking" away from a promise to deliver a surplus in its first year in office after pummelling the government for never posting a surplus.
"This is despite the Coalition telling Australians repeatedly that they will deliver a surplus, even after the government had flagged that doing so would risk jobs and growth," Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury said.
"The hypocrisy from Tony Abbott about the surplus is extraordinary."
Asked at a public meeting in Melbourne when the Coalition would deliver its surplus, Mr Abbott said he had previously been confident about the timing based on government figures as they stood just before Christmas. He indicated he had changed position because the government wouldn't reveal the budget's true state.
'All bets are off', says Abbott
"But all bets are off given that the government won't tell us what the deficit will be," he said.
The federal budget hasn't been in surplus since 2007-08, which covered the end of the Howard Coalition government and the start of the Rudd Labor government. Economists say long-term budget deficits eventually lead to higher taxes.
The remarks echoed shadow treasurer Joe Hockey, who signalled at a forum organised by The Australian Financial Review on Thursday that he was in no rush to return to surplus, a turnaround that would probably require sharp spending cuts.
"We're not going to go down the path of austerity simply to bring the budget back to surplus because it would end up being a temporary surplus depending on how big the deficit is that we inherit," he said.
Independent budget expert Stephen Bartos, executive director at ACIL Tasman, said the Coalition's shift was a recognition that a rapid swing from deficit to surplus would hurt growth.
"It's a good sign that reflects a growing maturity in the debate and away from the sloganeering of 'surplus good – deficit bad', and it lets us build a long-term fiscal plan based on what's in the best interests of the country," he said.
Deficit forecast to hit $25 billion in 2013-14
Finance Department figures showing revenues have further deteriorated prompted Barclays Bank chief economist Kieran Davies on Friday to raise his 2012-13 deficit forecast by $5 billion to $25 billion and the 2013-14 deficit to $12 billion from $8 billion.
"It does look as if the deficit will be with us for a lot longer still," he said.
"It's always difficult to turn things around when the economy is growing at the rate it is, and particularly when they've got the headwind of weaker nominal income.
"So unless they really aim for the sort of difficult austerity measures you're seeing in other countries, which neither side of politics seems that keen on, the budget position is going to be quite different to what people thought."
AFR Weekend reported two weeks ago that federal cabinet's expenditure review committee saw little chance of a forecast surplus in any of the next four years in Treasurer Wayne Swan's budget on May 14.
Other government sources insist that Labor is working to produce a budget surplus within the so-called forward years to 2016-17.
AAA credit rating stable, says Moody's
Global ratings agency Moody's Investors Service said on Friday its outlook for Australia's AAA credit rating was stable and the risk of a downgrade was "relatively low" despite the budget remaining in deficit for longer than targeted.
Moody's senior vice-president Steven Hess told Weekend AFR the high dollar threatened the budget.
"If the exchange rate does not adjust, the end of the investment boom in mining and lower commodity prices – if they materialise – could mean that growth will be below its recent pace in the coming few years," he said.
"This is only a risk at this point, and not a forecast. Nonetheless, such a scenario would mean the government's achieving a budget surplus would be more difficult."
"We will deliver a surplus in our first year and every year after that," Mr Hockey said on January 28, almost a month after Mr Swan abandoned the government's promise of a $1.1 billion surplus in 2012-13.
Since then, the government has steadfastly refused to detail when it expects to return to surplus, saying only that it would balance the books over the economic cycle and place a priority on jobs and growth.
Abbott backs down from earlier surplus promises
Mr Abbott said: "We are confident that we will, at all times, deliver more prudent and responsible financial management than the current government because it's in our DNA to deliver surpluses and pay back debt. Just look at what the Howard government did."
Mr Davies said: "It was always the case that the government's forecasts were too ambitious. It does look as if the deficit will be with us for a lot longer still.
"The feedback we get from offshore investors is that they are all still comfortable in a relative sense [that] Australia is still in great shape compared with Europe, the US and Japan."
Mr Swan plans to tell the Group of 20 finance ministers in Washington on Saturday that they needed to do more to boost global growth.
"World growth with a 3 in front doesn't cut the mustard," he will say.
"Asia cannot keep doing all the heavy lifting when it comes to global growth, and policy settings need to be put in place where Europe will start doing their bit also."
Reports this week that China's economy entered 2013 at a weaker pace than forecast roiled financial markets and further deepened fears about the impact on Australia's economy and the federal budget.
Economists say a weaker China would further lower commodity prices and erode profits at mining companies that generate a large slab of the government's revenues.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Michaelmas, the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel (also the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, Uriel[citation needed] and Raphael, the Feast of the Archangels, or the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels) is a day in the Western Christian calendar that occurs on 29 September. Because it falls near the equinox, it is associated in the northern hemisphere with the beginning of autumn and the shortening of days. In medieval England, Michaelmas marked the ending and beginning of the husbandman's year, George C. Homans observes: "at that time harvest was over, and the bailiff or reeve of the manor would be making out the accounts for the year."[1]
In Christianity, the Archangel Michael is the greatest of all the Archangels and is honoured for defeating Lucifer in the war in heaven.[2] He is one of the principal angelic warriors, seen as a protector against the dark of night, and the administrator of cosmic intelligence. Michaelmas has also delineated time and seasons for secular purposes as well, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland as one of the quarter days.
The Eastern Orthodox Churches do not observe Michaelmas. The Greek Orthodox honor the archangels on 8 November instead.
During the Middle Ages, Michaelmas was celebrated as a Holy Day of Obligation, but this tradition was abolished in the 18th century. Lutheran Christians consider it a principal feast of Christ, and the Lutheran Confessor, Philip Melanchthon, wrote a hymn for the day that is still sung in Lutheran Churches: "Lord God to Thee We Give." It was also one of the English, Welsh and Irish quarter days when accounts had to be settled. On manors, it was the day when a reeve was elected from the peasants. On the Isle of Skye, Scotland, a procession was held.
Traditional meal for the day includes goose (a "stubble-goose", i.e. one prepared around harvest time) and a special cake called a Struan Michael,[3] St Michael's bannock, or Michaelmas Bannock.[4] Nuts were traditionally cracked on Michaelmas Eve.[5]
In Anglican and Episcopal tradition, there are three or four archangels in its calendar for 29 September feast for St. Michael and All Angels: namely Michael, Gabriel and Raphael,[6] and often, Uriel.[7][8][9][10][11] The Bible itself identifies only Michael as "the archangel" (book of Jude, verse 9) and does not identify any other creatures as being archangels.
It is used in the extended sense of autumn, used as the name of the first term of the academic year, which begins at this time, at various educational institutions in the United Kingdom and Ireland. These are typically those with lengthy history and traditions, notably the Universities of Glasgow, Cambridge, Oxford, St Andrews, King's College London, Durham, Aberystwyth, Dublin, Kent and the LSE.
The Inns of Court of the English Bar and the Honorable Society of King's Inns in Ireland also have a Michaelmas term as one of their dining terms. It begins in September and ends towards the end of December.
The term is also the name of the first of four terms into which the legal year is divided by the courts of Wales and England.[12]
The U.S. Supreme Court follows this tradition (though not by name) by convening each new term the first Monday in October, which is shortly after Michaelmas.[13]
Michaelmas is still celebrated in the Waldorf schools, which celebrate it as the "festival of strong will" during the autumnal equinox. Rudolf Steiner considered it the second most important festival after Easter, Easter being about Christ ("He is laid in the grave and He has risen"). Michaelmas is about man once he finds Christ ("He is risen, therefore he can be laid in the grave"), meaning man finds the Christ (risen), therefore he will be safe in death (laid in the grave with confidence)[14]
Old Michaelmas Day falls on October 11 (October 10 according to some sources). According to an old legend, blackberries should not be picked after this date. This is because, so folklore goes, Satan was banished from Heaven on this day, fell into a blackberry bush and cursed the brambles as he fell into them. In Yorkshire, it is said that the devil had spat on them. According to Morrell (1977), this old legend is well known in all parts of the United Kingdom, even as far north as the Orkney Islands. In Cornwall, a similar legend prevails, however, the saying goes that the devil urinated on them.

"Spoiled by the narrator"
I am a huge Ken Follet fan and find it not just disappointing but an enormous dis-service to Follet that J. Charles narrated this book.I could barely listen to it. The pace, the lack of vocal transparency and missed characterization were glaring. I'll never buy another book read by J.Charles. Brilliance can do better than that.
"Missed it."
This story was predictable and never engaged me. I was just waiting for the end so I could get on to another book. The primary trouble was the lack of character development and sufficient dramatic tension. I kept waiting for the contradictions, the unknown to appear. Everything was just so expected. Narration also lack characterization skill and a sense of real presence with the character. Overall, quite dull. I am not anxious to listen to another of Sandford's tales.
From the begining I was hooked with a smooth blend of curiosity, tension and character development. Although, I thought the narration was good, I would prefer a little more distinct characterization. However, the dramatic tension was sustained and developmental all the way through.I was guessing up to the last moment.
"Content -'A', Delivery -'D'...A Pity"
I am a fan of Dallas Willard and have read or listened to most of what he has written. That's why this book was so disappointing. His content, as usual, was erudite and enriching, but I could hardly finish the book. I had to fight continually to concentrate on the content since, my brain was continually wandering from lack of auditory stimulation. Willard chose to narrate this book himself...a bad choice. His voice is slow, dull and completely lacking in vocal dynamics which are so important in keeping a listener's attention. Just because you can make good sense out of the text, does not mean you can engage a listener's ear and hold it. To achieve that is an art which too many authors of audio books refuse to recognize. I will never buy another of his books if he is the narrator.
"Distracting Narration....good grief!"
I was so interested in this story and really wanted to understand the whole picture, but it took an act of supreme persistence to persevere to the end due to the narration. It was narrated by more than one reader (one almost, as bad as the other) for no apparent reason. The changing of narrators was so annoying. The pace of the narration was so fast, I had to set my ipod to slower settings. The sound quality of the recording studio also changed when the narrators changed...yet, another irritant. None of the narrators did the story justice and I am appalled that a writer like Ken Follet would allow this audio performance to represent his quality work. Shame on him for not doing quality control on this.
"Excellent content undermined."
I was excited to read this book. I am impressed with Gary Thomas's insight into the institution of marriage. I have been waiting for someone to say these important things and put marriage in the correct spiritual framework .Although, he does concentrate his advice from the male perspective and does not deal with the contributing female dysfunctional element in marriage to the same degree as he develops the male counterpart.
However, I wonder why good writers often opt to read their own books. Its almost always a mistake. I understand that they feel passionate about what they wrote and want to make sure that passion is communicated through the reading. What they don't get, is that narrators are trained and skilled artists with gifts different from a writer. I was so annoyed by the poor recording conditions (way too much hall in the sound) and by the swallowing and saliva management mannerisms of Gary Thomas. The content demands an intimate voice with authority and compassion. Mr. Thomas's voice is strident and it feels as if he is shouting across a canyon at us.
I am writing a review because I admire him so much as a writer with meaningful spiritual insight. His material is great, but his delivery of it in this recording is certainly not up to the quality of its substanative content....a pity.
"Factoring in " The Factor" is not a Plus"
I so appreciated the content of this book and the way in which O'Reilly strung together the narrative of fact with the element of drama. It was fascinating and informative - a great contribution to our nation's uninformed public,concerning their nation's history. However, I feel it was a big mistake for Mr. O'Reilly to read it himself. His delivery is exactly the same delivery he uses on the' The Factor.' It works for the news media, it does not work here. He missed the opportunity to involve his listening public on several other levels, other than just facts, by not having a skillful narrator reading it. I like listening to O'Reilly on 'The Factor', I did not enjoy listening to "Killing Lincoln" a la 'The Factor'.
"A Good Story Sabatoged"
Rarely have I listened to such an unfortunate sabotage of a good story by an inferior narrator. I am an avid fan of Vince Flynn and have listened to almost everything he has on audio book. I have not listened to them in order of publication and so was surprised and disturbed when I began "Separation of Power" and was immediately exposed to Ken Kilban as a narrator. G. Guidall and N. Sullivan and A. Schultz had all built in my mind the characters of Mitch ,Irene and Anna and others that was completely shattered by Kilban's amateurish and over-the-top caricatures (especially the interactions between Mitch and Anna). I see that Kilban didn't narrate another of Flynn's books, so maybe Flynn got the message early on. As always, Flynn is masterful story teller and this story is no different. However, the book was ruined for me by Kilban's distortion of these great serial characters.

Amazon and Apple Refurb store drop Time Capsule prices
Price drops on Apple Time Capsule router/NAS drive
9to5mac noticed that Apple's
As 9to5mac speculates, this could mean an impending Time Capsule refresh. We'll take a stab and say 1TB for $300 and 2TB for $500. Letting the current market guide us, external 1TB drives currently go for $100 to $120, and we've seen 2TB models for as low as $235. A decent N router can be had for less than $150. So that's $250 on the low end for 1TB and $385 on the high end for 2TB for a DIY router/storage combo. Drop the prices for the raw components, throw in the so-called Apple tax and that range could scale nicely with Apple's current price points. Any other guesses?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

December 1
It's Iowa minus 32 days, and barring yet another resurrection (or event of
similar improbability), it's Mitt Romney vs. Newt Gingrich. In a match
race, here's the scorecard:
Romney has managed to weather the debates unscathed. However, the
brittleness he showed when confronted with the kind of informed follow-up
questions that Bret Baier tossed his way Tuesday on Fox's "Special Report"
- the kind of scrutiny one doesn't get in multiplayer debates - suggests
that Romney may become increasingly vulnerable as the field narrows.
Moreover, Romney has profited from the temporary rise and spontaneous
combustion of Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain. No exertion
required on Romney's part.
Enter Gingrich, the current vessel for anti-Romney forces - and likely the
final one. Gingrich's obvious weakness is a history of flip-flops, zigzags
and mind changes even more extensive than Romney's - on climate change,
the health-care mandate, cap-and-trade, Libya, the Ryan Medicare plan,
The list is long. But what distinguishes Gingrich from Romney - and
mitigates these heresies in the eyes of conservatives - is that he
authored a historic conservative triumph: the 1994 Republican takeover of
the House after 40 years of Democratic control.
Which means that Gingrich's apostasies are seen as deviations from his
conservative core - while Romney's flip-flops are seen as deviations from
. . . nothing. Romney has no signature achievement, legislation or
manifesto that identifies him as a core conservative.
So what is he? A center-right, classic Northeastern Republican who, over
time, has adopted a specific, quite bold, thoroughly conservative
platform. His entitlement reform, for example, is more courageous than
that of any candidate, including Barack Obama. Nevertheless, the party
base, ostentatiously pursuing serial suitors-of-the-month, considers him
ideologically unreliable. Hence the current ardor for Gingrich.
Gingrich has his own vulnerabilities. The first is often overlooked
because it is characterological rather than ideological: his own
unreliability. Gingrich has a self-regard so immense that it rivals
Obama's - but, unlike Obama's, is untamed by self-discipline.
Take that ad Gingrich did with Nancy Pelosi on global warming, advocating
urgent government action. He laughs it off today with "that is probably
the dumbest single thing I've done in recent years. It is inexplicable."
This will not do. He was obviously thinking something. What was it?
Thinking of himself as a grand world-historical figure, attuned to the
latest intellectual trend (preferably one with a tinge of futurism and
science, like global warming), demonstrating his own incomparable depth
and farsightedness. Made even more profound and fundamental - his favorite
adjectives - if done in collaboration with a Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Kennedy
or even Al Sharpton, offering yet more evidence of transcendent,
trans-partisan uniqueness.
Two ideologically problematic finalists: One is a man of center-right
temperament who has of late adopted a conservative agenda. The other is a
man more conservative by nature but possessed of an unbounded need for
grand display that has already led him to unconservative places even he is
at a loss to explain, and that as president would leave him in constant
search of the out-of-box experience - the confoundedly brilliant
Nixon-to-China flipperoo regarding his fancy of the day, be it health
care, taxes, energy, foreign policy, whatever.
The second, more obvious, Gingrich vulnerability is electability. Given
his considerable service to the movement, many conservatives seem quite
prepared to overlook his baggage, ideological and otherwise. This is
understandable. But the independents and disaffected Democrats upon whom
the general election will hinge will not be so forgiving.
They will find it harder to overlook the fact that the man who denounces
Freddie Mac to the point of suggesting that those in Congress who aided
and abetted it be imprisoned, took $30,000 a month from that very same
parasitic federal creation. Nor will independents be so willing to believe
that more than $1.5 million was paid for Gingrich's advice as "a
historian" rather than for services as an influence peddler.
Obama's approval rating among independents is a catastrophically low 30
percent. This is a constituency disappointed in Obama but also deeply
offended by the corrupt culture of the Washington insider - a distaste in
no way attenuated by fond memories of the 1994 Contract with America
My own view is that Republicans would have been better served by the
candidacies of Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan or Chris Christie. Unfortunately,
none is running. You play the hand you're dealt. This is a weak Republican
field with two significantly flawed front-runners contesting an immensely
important election. If Obama wins, he will take the country to a place
from which it will not be able to return (which is precisely his own
objective for a second term).
Every conservative has thus to ask himself two questions: Who is more
likely to prevent that second term? And who, if elected, is less likely to
unpleasantly surprise?

Beiersdorf Inc. Celebrates Anniversary Of Big Brothers Big Sisters Partnership With Extended Awareness And Fundraising Program To Support Mentoring
WILTON, Conn., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Beiersdorf Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Beiersdorf AG, a leading global skincare company based in Hamburg, Germany, announced today a consumer awareness and fundraising initiative to support National Mentoring Month. Currently, Beiersdorf has an employee-led, work-based mentoring program focused on supporting youth in the local community. In recognition of National Mentoring Month, the company in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters has created a three month consumer awareness and fundraising initiative that will raise $100,000 to make a big difference for the Big Brothers Big Sisters network.
Beiersdorf selected today, National Social Media Mentoring Day ( January 10, 2013), to unveil its Big Brothers Big Sisters app on Facebook. Via the app, shoppers will have the opportunity to purchase NIVEA, NIVEA Men, Eucerin and Aquaphor products from online retail partners. For every ten dollars spent, Beiersdorf will donate one dollar to Big Brothers Big Sisters' mentoring programs. As a thank you to consumers for engaging with the app, Beiersdorf will offer consumers a sample of their choice of a NIVEA, NIVEA For Men, Eucerin or Aquaphor product.
In addition to online fundraising, which will continue through March 2013, Beiersdorf will spread the word on how consumers can do their share to mentor our youth. During the month of February, national retail partners such as Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger and numerous others are lending their support for the cause with in-store "Skincare that really cares" displays, which will help to further spread the word about mentoring. Beiersdorf wants everyone to be the change a child needs, as 34,000 "Littles" are still waiting for their "Bigs."
"Beiersdorf prides itself on being a skincare company that truly cares," said Bill Graham, President, Beiersdorf North America. "Everyone who meets and mentors the students from Big Brothers Big Sisters experiences a true sense of fulfillment. We are thrilled to continue our work with such an impactful organization to help raise funds and awareness for their local and national mentoring efforts." The Wilton, Connecticut-based company has just marked its first anniversary working with Big Brothers Big Sisters on a work-based mentoring program, "Beyond School Walls," a jointly-created program adapted from the organization's core School-Based Mentoring programs. For the past year, Beyond School Walls students have come to the Beiersdorf office after school to meet with their mentors, spend time with one another, participate in activities and learn. "It has been a pleasure to work with Beiersdorf over the past year, and we're looking forward to the growth and continuation of this exciting partnership," said Charles Pierson, CEO and American President, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. "Beiersdorf's support will help us increase our capacity to serve more children facing adversity." For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has made an impact on children in need, helping them overcome adversity and beat the odds. Studies have shown that children enrolled in the program maintained or showed improvement in educational success, socio-emotional confidence and making healthy choices. Independent research finds youth enrolled in the program are:- 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
- 27% less likely to begin using alcohol
- 52% less likely to skip school

text: Hi. I've been doing the Insulin Resistance Diet (the book by Hart and Grossman) for almost a week now. I've "practiced" up until now by trying to put certain meals together the right way and paying more attention to the foods I eat but this is the first week that I've done it completely by the book. I have cut way down on sugary foods obviously, but as I'm still eating dairy and certain fruits (apples, grapefruits) and obviously carbs linked with protein, it's not as if I'm getting no sugar, like on diets that put you into ketosis. I allow myself a dark chocolate "square" a day and sometimes a small peppermint at night. I am surprised however that I think I'm still experiencing some sugar withdrawal symptoms. A few headaches, but mostly fatigue at night and a LOT of brain fogginess. Just not able to concentrate. Like I can't tell you how many times in the past few days that I've set out to do something and two seconds later can't remember what it was I was going to do. I remember when I tried the first week of the Ideal Protein diet (way too extreme for me) I felt a lot of these symptoms, but I expected it considering I was consuming pretty much zero of any type of sugar. So I'm a little concerned. Has anyone else who has done this experienced these same symptoms? I'm feeling pretty good and already losing some weight (although I'm sure at this point it's all water), it's just the nighttime drowsiness and all day brain fogginess. Thoughts? Thanks!!

It figures a mother who made headlines when she taught her six-year-old daughter to pole dance would find another way to make the news: Sarah Burge of the UK gave her girl, Poppy, a voucher for breast implants on her 7th birthday. Burge, who is known as "the Human Barbie" for her slavish devotion to her plasticine looks, said Poppy can cash in her boob job after she turns 16 and her natural boobs have grown in. Do I even need to write about how promising an elementary schooler that she can get a boob job is really f**ked up? No? Cool.

Mall of America Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS -- After four days of standing ovations, two pregame ceremonies to honor him and a week's worth of reminiscing, Torii Hunter is ready to go home.
For the first time in 10 years, home does not mean Minnesota. He's headed back to Los Angeles with the Angels after a draining opening series against his former team, but he made sure to leave Twins fans with a little something to remember him by.In the final game of an emotional return to the Metrodome, Hunter homered leading off the seventh inning to back a strong start from Ervin Santana and help Los Angeles beat Minnesota 5-4 on Thursday."That's big, to kind of end it that way," said Hunter, who was honored with a pregame video on opening day and given his Gold Glove before Game 2. "I started to slow down the last two games. I didn't have any opening-day ceremonies or anything like that."It was more emotional, man, than anything. Just coming back, walking up the wrong way, going in the wrong clubhouse, running to center field from the wrong side. It was weird."Prior to his drive, Hunter had gone just 2-for-14 to start the season and admitted to being gassed from the pageantry and warm welcomes he received from Twins fans who watched him star in center field for the previous nine years.On getaway day, he had just enough left in him to muscle a mistake from Brian Bass into the seats in left-center field, and the small crowd at the Dome gave one last standing ovation to the fan favorite who signed a $90 million, five-year deal with the Angels in the offseason.Mike Napoli and Gary Matthews Jr. also homered for Los Angeles. Hunter went 1-for-4 to finish the series 3-for-16."I am drained. I'm tired. Mentally tired," Hunter said. "I get to go home and relax, back at home in L.A. No pressure. No emotional [situations]. I'm good to go."Francisco Rodriguez got Michael Cuddyer swinging with runners on first and second to end the game and pick up his second save. The Angels took three of four from the Twins to open the season and got an encouraging start from Santana, who gave up just two runs and four hits with three strikeouts in six innings.Joe Mauer had two doubles and two RBIs for the Twins, who lost starter Kevin Slowey (0-1) in the fourth inning with a strained right biceps.Slowey, the 2007 Twins minor league player of the year, gave up three runs and four hits in 3 1/3 innings.Manager Ron Gardenhire said Slowey likely will skip his next start and be evaluated from there."It's nothing serious but certainly nothing that we want to mess around with," Slowey said. "I'll keep it in ice and follow the trainers the next couple days and see how it goes."Jason Kubel homered in the seventh to cut the lead to 5-4, but that was it for Minnesota's struggling bats. Justin Morneau went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and is 0-for-13 this season.It had to be a confidence builder for Santana (1-0), who is coming off a trying 2007 that featured him getting knocked out of his spot in the rotation. He also spent a month at Triple-A Salt Lake, and lost some momentum from a promising two-year start to his career.After winning 24 games in his first two seasons, Santana went 7-14 with a 5.76 ERA last year.Manager Mike Scioscia said Santana was "terrific" with his mechanics and his command."If he can bottle that, he's going to have a good year," Scioscia said.Despite starting the season with their top two starters -- John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar -- on the disabled list, the Angels should feel great about their rotation as they leave Minnesota.Jered Weaver, Jon Garland, Joe Saunders and Santana combined to go 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA in 28 1-3 innings at the Dome."We've got some good starting pitching," Hunter said. "Our pitching ain't slouching now."NotesKubel's homer was the first of the year by the Twins. The last time it took them this long to hit one was in 1999. ... Speaking of holding on, Los Angeles' Maicer Izturis flung his bat into the first row of seats far down the first-base line after losing his grip in the third. Teammate Howie Kendrick also lost the handle in the fourth, and a fan made a nice one-handed grab of the bat about 10 rows up the third-base line.
